There is a metal ring on the floor mat but yet no clip in the floor? My mats move all over the place, I'm thinking of adding velcro to the bottom.

 

As part of the PDI, they should have installed a small metal piece with a post that the hole in the mat locates over. It's secured to the floor under the front of the driver's seat. For some reason it's only on the driver's side, though.

If yours is absent, go remonstrate with the dealership.

 

Thanks, I don't have one!


Just double checked, nope no clip. The mat was WAY too high they had it so the clip would be almost half way to the pedal! I see it goes just before the bump at the seat.

 

Mine neither, nada, zip! Often I have to reach down and pull the mat down while I was driving 'cause it's annoying to have the mat slowly slipped way to high.

 

yea mat is all over the place. they shoulda used velcro, thats basic.

 

When I got mine, the mat was riding high on the foot rest. I pulled it back to get it off the pedal and it would not go back far enough. I thought this is stupid. Why is the mat longer than the space to fit it in?

Then I looked under the seat and saw the post sticking up and the corresponding hole in the mat. It was the post preventing the mat from sliding back. Rasied the edge, put the hole over the post and Viola!

 

So obviously my dealer isn't the only one forgetting to install the post?

 

Nope. There was a thread a couple weeks ago about this. One of the members found it in his glovebox and didn't know what it was. I posted a pic of mine with it installed to help solve the mystery.

 

so thats what that thing was

Sheesh, I called my dealer, they said "Please pop by and we'll make sure it's not in your car"

Ok listen MORON, it's NOT THERE! I looked, I'm not driving entirely across town costing me $10 in fuel for you to check if it's there, and if it's not order it, than drive clear across town again!

I'm like, find it, I'll come in when you have one to install at MY convience when I am in the area.

SHEESH! I paid $525 for them to PDI this car, if they can't put in a freaking floor mat, I better start checking things like oil!

First off the windshield washer fluid was EMPTY when I picked up the car, my salesman had to fill it!

 

Ok, I just got a call back from Mazda. Apparently I will be getting a new floor mat on the driver side.

Apparently the pin is in the wrong spot!

There is a hole in the floor mat and a pin should be WAY under your seat, although I can't find it.

They said I will be getting a new pin and mat when they get them in.

ooops.

 

My dealer just left the hook in the glove compartment. I had no idea what it was for, and that sliding mat had been bugging me.

Good thing I read this thread:>

In case anyone wants to see what we are talking about...

 

Holding pin is actually part of a bracket attached to frame under seat.

 

I had to hunt around for my metal clip a bit, but it most likely is down there. It must have been left off of the dealer checklist, every single car had it that way at the Tustin meet ~1 month ago (it annoyed me on mine so I checked others). I tried unscrewing the location where it has to be attached, but it's done in pretty tight and I couldn't get enough torque (or is it horsepower j/k) on my little swiss army knife.
